Why does the Wimbledon trophy have a pineapple?

YOU may have noticed that on top of the trophy is a miniature gold pineapple.

Standing 18 inches tall, the inscription on the cup reads 'The All England Lawn Tennis Club Single Handed Championship of the World'.

The Champions receive a three-quarter size replica of the cup instead of the real thing, which is kept at SW19 throughout the year.

It was first presented in 1887 and now features a silver plinth around the bottom which includes inscriptions of past winners.

Nobody is one-hundred percent sure why the trophy features the Pineapple.

A spokesperson for the Wimbledon Museum revealed their theory: "In the 17th century pineapples were impossible to grow in the UK and they had to be imported, so being presented with one at a feast was seen as a great compliment.

"You might have seen pineapples being used on gateposts of stately homes as you travel around the UK. It's because of their rarity."
